This thesis bridges the gap between technical and economic viewpoints by present-ing a novel strategy to hydrogen system optimization for green hydrogen produc-tion. Expanding on previous studies, we present a new approach that improves the supplier assessment, and hence, the investment strategy of a grid-connected utility. The thesis dives into the effectiveness and usage of individual hydrogen energy system (HES) components, offering insights crucial for optimizing energy through-put and operating efficiency under future uncertainty, using a multi-stage optimiza-tion problem. Furthermore, our operational strategy puts profit maximization ahead of cost reduction, integrating economic factors like hydrogen price into decision-making procedures to facilitate strategic planning of investments and quick reac-tions to market changes. The use of a rolling horizon technique to the optimization model is a significant contribution of this work. This method efficiently handles seasonal fluctuations in hydrogen storage, cutting down on computing time while still providing a good solution that would allow us to benchmark the use of different devices in our system.
